Spurs: NBA forum consensus: The 1999 San Antonio Spurs

Gays might be accepted, but by definition will never be normal

just had an argument on another sports board about this. They ain't normal, just like autism isn't normal.

This has nothing to do with your previous point. Not "RW was great"-bad, but still pretty damn awful.

It has everything to do with my previous post, which is about you finding seasons boring when the lakers struggle

wut definition are you using

So... tbh?..

That doesn't change anything, just because he's a Laker fan..

[Leetonidas]

What a fresh topic

[benefactor]

I'm sure it goes beyond your reading level given your lack of education..scintillating stuff for you, partner..

And just like that a simple run. A couple of simple passes and made shots, wallah, an eight point lead while we've coasting for like 90% of the game.

The 2000 team was much more talented and deeper

They were more talented with the addition of Pippen and Steve Smith, but not to the point where they turn a series sweep into a series win the year prior.

You had a near prime David Robinson and an emerging pre-knee surgery Tim Duncan as your frontline, surrounded by capable role players. No one was beating them that year, 50 or 82 game season.

What's the argument about the 99 le? That the compressed schedule hurt old teams like Utah, but not old teams like SA? Shouldn't LA have ripped through the Spurs then? So the 1999 season is invalid because Karl Malone was going to nut up and win a le if not for the lockout? The same Karl Malone who needed chokes by Divac to escape the first round and who put up 8 points in an elimination game in Portland when he had a real season next year?

They have none. They just trolling.

Utah beating San Antonio in '99. The year before, the Spurs nearly took both opening road games against the Jazz in the playoffs. And that was without Sean Elliott and Mario Elie and a still green Tim Duncan.

[Horse]

knocking on 99 because there was no defining highlight? as opposed to the defining highlight of the lakers les in 2000, 01, or 02? heck, from all of those, the image that everyone remembers is iverson stepping over tyronn lue

The defining hightlight of 2000 and 2002 were the refs screwing portland and sacramento. Lots of people talk about 2002 but no way the blazers lose that 4th quarter lead without zebra help.

That 1999 le is the equivalent of having a gay son. Even though it's shameful and embarrassing, it's still yours.

NO one mentions the amount of a jarring 38-25 FT advantage Sacramento got in Game 2 (which they won to the score of 96-90) and the total chokejob by the queens in game 7

Yeah, when David Robinson got called for a foul for getting kicked in the nuts by Malone at the end. And then a Durant call to get FTs on Duncan at the end of Game 2.

[Strange Love]

Is there an expiration on this sad excuse for a poll? I think the people have spoken.

[HI-FI]

The only asterisk seasons are:
2000 - 20+ FTa in the 4 th quarter of an elimination game.
2002 - same ad 2000
2006 - dwhistle.

It's all about that "*"..

and you could've had one of your own, but instead you got your butt dusted after game 1 and have nothing.

What the are you talking about got?

Good narrative reflection piece ya wrote there, boy.

[Aztecfan03]

and at comparing the Heat and Spurs seasons. Spurs played 67 games TOTAL in 1998-99.

Heat played 66 REGULAR SEASON games.

Furthermore, what did the standings look like at the 50 game mark this year (usually AS break time)?

It was just a mistake of a season...Stern forgot to pull out, nothing more, nothing less.

So how many of those 16 extra games were needed to make the heat's le legitimate then?

Oh my god! Are you serious? One team shot 13 more FTs than the other team in an actual game? I've never seen that before! It's jus mind boggling!

What will they do next? Have one team shoot 20+ FTa in the 4th quarter in three different elimination games over 10 years while not having any of the othe 29 teams have one single game like that?
